So my lovely sister and her adorable friend have convinced me to start a blog. Why, you ask? Because they love my outfits and think I can parlay this into free designer clothes. I beg to differ but instead of boring all my Facebook friends with a photo everyday, I'll post them here and someday show my children how great Mom used to look :)
A little about me: I have loved clothes for as long as I can remember. The only problem? I've also been fat for at least that long and nothing I love is made in a size I could squeeze into. Solution? I lost a little over 50 lbs last year and I'm working on the next 50 as we speak. I've tried to make the styles and trends I love work in a size 20 and didn't ever feel I like I was making much progress. Now that I'm down three sizes to a 14, it's getting easier. I love hearing how much people love what I'm wearing (and more so, being able to buy it!).
If anyone I don't immediately know happens across this blog I hope you take away the following - no matter your size you CAN dress just like the models, actress and socialites you stare at every week. You'll just have to get creative with where and how you shop. My goal is to post my work outfit 5 times a week (unless it's a repeat - my closet isn't that big) along with where I got the clothes, shoes and accessories. Why not the weekend too? Because those are my off days which consist of only tank tops, team jerseys/shirts and jeans - seen 'em once, seen 'em all.
I hope that you, my darling reader, will comment on what you like (or what you don't) and share tips on places to buy great pieces!
